It's football season and I thought this card, tag and bag set from the new Cricut Wrap It Up! cartridge would be just perfect for that football fan in your house. My husband is a huge Notre Dame fan and so every Saturday he devotedly watches the game with the Notre Dame club while I am silently praying they will win so the weekend isn't ruined. Needless to say, if you know anything about college football, you know the last few years at our house have been difficult...

Moving on to the project - this card was cut at 4". I cut the card twice and then cut off the front layer so I could run it through the Cuttlebug using the Tiny Bubbles folder. I had to run it through twice. This folder is so convenient for adding texture to images like whales, various animals and now this football. I love the pebbly surface! The white edges were so stark that I ran them through the Cuttlebug also using the Distressed Stripes folder (another winner) and then I used some chalk ink to rough it up a little. The football was looking too stark...

This football box was a snap to put together! I cut it at fit to page using a 12x12 sheet of Core'dinations cardstock. Check out the photos below:

You could put a little bag of nuts inside this box as a quick snack - or maybe M & Ms.... yummo!

Finally, the tag is just two layers. Since I wanted the football to have white stripes, I backed just that section with a scrap of white paper and then used my scissors to trim around the football before I added the yellow layer. A bit of Stampin Up! ribbon in brown and cream seemed to be the perfect match!

Love it Joy!!!! What a great idea for a game day party!!!! I'm sorry Joy, but GO BULLDAWGS!!!! I'm hoping my daughter decides to go there (UGA) instead of GA tech, I think she would enjoy the college life in Athens much more. (She is doing her first two years here at Augusta State U, so go Jags..yeahhhh :/ ;)!!!)

Okey doke, off to check out the blogs!!! So GO ECU!!!!!!! (everyday cricut university, of course...LOL)

Your project has left me adding Wrap it up to my wish list. I wasn't sure I liked it by looking at the images, but your project is awesome. My son and husband are huge Penn State fans, so I know what you mean about winning Saturdays!! Thanks for sharing!

awesome project! My husband and kids would love this! Wow, too bad this wasn't out before. I just did a football themed party for my 6 year old last week. We're huge football fans here too. I also pray each week that UM and The Bears win. Weekends are better when they do. Thanks for sharing!

We have it bad, too! I am a HUGE Kansas Jayhawk fan. We have been pretty bad since 2008. Oh well, basketball season is right around the corner!Thae items just ROCK! That cartridge is going on my list!Thanks for sahringSusan

how cute, I totally hear you about the weekend being good or bad depending on the football team. Sadly to say, we have had many bad weekends as this years high school team has been awful. thankfully Iowa is usually okay on Saturday, but then the Rams pull us back down on Sunday. what I wouldn't give for all 3 teams to be great.

Wrap It Up tops my list too!! What a great gift set you've made. I'm looking forward to seeing more done with this cartridge - and looking forward to using it once I get it!! Thanks so much for the details you provided too. That's always SO helpful.

These are super!! My son plays football and the boxes would be great to give away with a treat in them! Love the embossing to add texture to the football card. I need to take a closer look at this cartridge. Thanks for sharing some great ideas. Hugs,Stephanie

OMGOODNESS, this is just TOOOO cute. I am PUMPED that there are new releases and I don't know how I missed it. I was thinking that ProvoCraft would just concentrate on new stuff for their new Imagine and leave the rest of us without any new images. YEAH!! You made my day!!TFS,Cheers, Karenalteredscrapbooking dot com

OH, I know what you mean about the Saturday games, my hubby roots for the same team as yours. He sits there every Saturday with his jersey on, he is even thinking of getting a tatoo of the cute little Irish Man! and we live in Canada. TFS your project.

Well these creations are perfect for my family right now. In almost every post I am talking about my jboys and their football teams. Also...don't forget my fave UF Gators... I so would love to have this cartridge. smiles...Tammy

Joy, I can't tell you how happy I was to see this Football box and Tag. I was just finishing up a mini for my grandson's birthday. The cover was missing something, then Whaaaa Lhaaaaa, I received your brilliant creation. You solved my dilema. I'm adding the Football just as you made it. Thanks for all of your great ideas.

Those are all so cute! They would go well in this house that is for sure!!! We are all die hard football fans. I wish I would have had this cart a few years ago when my son was still in HS--I remember cutting and layering the little football helmet in his school colors-and layering them on tags---over 100 of them!!!!!! TFS!

Great football projects...I love the embossing on the football!! Oh, I'm so sorry that you have to root for Notre Dame and, I apologize, but we have to root against the coach because of how he treated the U of Cincinnati players when he bailed on them last year for the playoffs :(Now, if I can figure out a way for the ND team to do well (& your husband to be happy) but Brian Kelly to suffer, I'll be rootin' for you! I sympathize with you about how the game affects your weekend...my husband does fantasy footbal (ugh!!) so it's really hard for us to have a good weekend...I HATE fantasy football! Oh well, boo hoo! Thanks for sharing all your great projects this week...this is one of my 1st stops every day.
